I had a read of it yesterday, and found it interesting as a
"current state of play".
One thing I was a bit confused about was the discussion regarding
methods of assigning customers prefixes.
It seemed to be listing 5 methods, or a least the people who filled in
the survey thought there were 5 methods:
1) manual i.e. static route towards the customer
2) RA PIO + SLAAC
3) DHCPv6-PD
4) PPPoE (/PPP)
5) RADIUS
The first 3 are valid as of providing downstream customers with
address space.
PPPoE/PPP isn't, because IPv6 PPP only negotiates 64 bit IIDs, one of
the first 3 methods above have to be used after that. For people who
answered with that, I wonder if they understand that IPv6 PPP doesn't
work like it does in IPv4.
RADIUS is one of the ways to supply the prefix information to the first
3 methods. So unless people combined RADIUS with one of the first 3
methods, I'd also wonder if they fully understand how you assign IPv6
address space to downstream customers.
Is there enough data in the survey responses to clear the above up?
It's obviously too late for this survey, however if there is one in the
future, I think it'd be interesting to ask a bit more about how the
person filling in the survey learnt about IPv6, what they view it as
(i.e. just IPv4 with bigger addresses or IPv4 with improvements in a
few areas or a new protocol that has similarities with IPv4 as well as
other protocols), does their organisation have a formal training
program etc. Those sorts of questions can help determine why e.g. in
the case above, people seem to think IPv6 PPPoE/PPP works as it does in
IPv4.
(a minor nit, PPPoE has been abbreviated to PPoE in a few places)

Mark.
